    I loved him before, but I love him even more now that I know his favorite restaurant is SushiSamba.

    Great interview....he just says it like it is.

    Vaccaro's easily one of my favorites, and one of the myriad reasons I subscribe to the NYP.

    Damn solid -- as always -- and I can't wait to get my paws on that book.

    But how does Angee's not make his restaurant list? ;)

    Dealt with him five years ago during the World Series and was easy and accessible and great to work with.

    Truly one of the best. I'm so glad I had the pleasure of working at the same paper as Mike some years ago. In fact, he wrote an obituary for a writer we all knew and loved and, when I saw Mike later that week, I asked him if he would be so kind as to write my obit ... when the time comes, that is.

    Love MV . . . but just want to make sure we have Mike's blessing to settle RECENT scores.

    ditto what casty and others have said. i don't think vac has an enemy in the world in this biz. says it all right there about a columnist at a big-time paper -- he'd never big-time anyone.

    what a talent. and what a guy.

    Vac is the anti-Lupica and Lupica is the anti-Christ.
